Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2. Dennd5b−/−affects plasma PCSK9 concentrations and hepatic LDLR abundance when fed a Western diet. A: PCSK9 was measured by ELISA in wild type and Dennd5b−/−mouse plasma collected on week 12. B: Hepatic LDLR protein was determined by Western blot on lysates from snap frozen tissue harvested on week 12. Statistical comparisons were performed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey correction for multiple comparisons. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. LDLR, low density lipoprotein receptor; PCSK9, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9.
Article Snippet: Lysates were used for Western blotting to evaluate PCSK9-induced reduction of hepatic LDLR protein (R&D Biosystems, #AF2255) using Actb (Sigma #A5441) for normalization.
Techniques: Clinical Proteomics, Western Blot, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay
